TOASTER, HEATER, AND WARMER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 30, 1910.

Application led .Tune 10, 1910. Serial No. 566,167.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK GERARD DU- PELL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Toaster, Heater, and IVarmer, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention is an improved toaster, heater and warmer for gas or vapor stoves, and has in view such a device embodying a heating chamber and a reticulated or perforated cover foldable or otherwise movable over the top wall of the chamber to provide a toaster, the heating chamber being constructed to seat on the top of the stove, and having a series of tlues passing therethrough over each burner, the vessels to be heated being ordinarily seated over the flues under which a burner is lighted, and a vessel or article to be warmed being likewise supported on the heating chamber at a point removed from the lighted burner. The heating chamber is preferably provided with piping' for distributing the heated air from around one set of ues to another, and for conducting the heated air from these points to the joint at the edges of the chamber to prevent the walls of the latter 'from warping or breaking loose.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this speeiication, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a combined toaster, heater and warmer constructed in accordance with my invention, the same being shown in position on a gas range, with the toaster swung upwardly from the heater and warmer, as is the case when the latter is in use; Fig. 2 is a horizontal section through the heating chamber constituting the heater and warmer, the section being taken substantially on the line 2-2 of Fig.

4; Fig. 3 is an inverted plan of the heaterA and warmer; and Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section of the same substantially on the line 4--4 of Fig. 2.

In the construction of my improved toaster, heater and warmer, I provide a relatively thin heating chamber 5, through which extends a series of iues 6 for each burner of the stove the device is designed to cover, the form of the invention illustrated being designed for a gas or vapor stove having four burners at the top.

A reticulated or perforated cover 7 for the heating chamber constitutes a toaster, and, as shown, is assembled with the heater and warmer, which is afforded by the heating chamber, by hinging the heater and toaster together at their rear edges so that the cover can fold upon the top wall of the chamber, in which position it is serviceable as a toaster; or swung upright, as `shown in Fig. l, in which position the device is used for heating and warming purposes, the cover being held in this upper position by suitable means, such as the Jfolding links 8.

The heating lues 6 as shown in Fig. 2, are each covered with an insulation 9, to insure the concentration of the heat on the vessel or other article seated over the liues, and prevent the heating chamber from becoming excessively hot. A pipe 10 extends across the chamber at or near the center and connects at the walls of the latter at the edges, the pipe having a number of air pipes 11 leading from points between the flues, the

epipes 10 and 11 serving to distribute the heat from around one set of iiues to the others, and the pipe l0 acting as a brace and distributing the heat to the edges of the chamber, and in this manner preventing the warping of the walls of the latter or the breaking apart of the same at the joint formed at the edges. The top and bottom plates of the heater and warmer, constituting the upper and lower walls of the heating chamber, are secured together at the corner by rivets or other equivalent devices 12.

As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, guard flanges 13 are attached to the under side of the heater and warmer and extend about each set of flue openings, the iianges preventing a burner of the stove being lighted from an adjacent burner, as when the gas is turned on to another burner after one or more burners are lighted, and in this manner causing an explosion. The anges also serve to concentrate the ame and heat under the particular set of flues under which the burner of the stove is lighted.

therethrough for each burner of the stove, and a retioulated cover adapted to seat on the top of the chamber and provide a toaster.

2. A heater and Warmer comprising a heating chamber adapted to seat on the top of a gas or vapor stove, the Chamber having a series of ues passing therethrough for each of the burners of the stove.

3. A heater and Warmer comprising a heating chamber adapted to seat on the top of a gas or vapor stove, and having a series of iues extending therethrough for each of the stove burners, and a guard flange arranged on the under side of the chamber around each set of ues.

4. A heater and Warmer comprising a heating chamber adapted to seat on the top of a gas or vapor stove, and having a series of fiues extending therethrough, each set of lues arranged to overlie one of the gas burners of the stove, and pipes arranged Within the Chamber for distributing the heat around one set of flues to points about the other sets of fines.

5. A heater and Warmer comprising a heating chamber adapted to seat on the top of a gas or vapor stove7 and having a series of iues extending therethrough, each set of iues ararnged to overlie one of the gas burners of the stove, and a heat-distributing pipe extending across the heater and the Warmer Within the heating chamber and reinforcing the heater and Warmer at intermediate points.

In testimony whereof I have signed my naine to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.

FRANK GERARD DUPELL.
